A passage from one of my own songs turned out rather weird: Original text: "Celestial reporter 1:
Fighting with fury the boy tries a lob
Celestial reporter 2:
It’s easily blocked with a knock on the gob
Celestial reporter 1:
The old man is doing a beautiful job!
" ...30 translations later we get: "Sky
News: Children of Wrath "good war the two groups, it is easy to become a
haven for journalists working for the arms of Santa Claus, it is
difficult for journalists in the air!"
